WHAT IS COCA?
History Colony of Coastside Artists (CoCA) began in 2010 with a realization that most artists work in isolation and rarely share their work with others unless they sell directly. CoCA Artists are excited to be back for our 13th year of Open Studios! We’ve been inviting visitors into our studios since 2010, and this year we have 41 exceptional artists in 23 locations for your enjoyment. Once again, we offer artwork for sale through our Open Studios tour. We welcome 7 new artists to our CoCA OS family. Many of us will continue to show outdoors or in our garages to accommodate safe distancing. Mask wearing is optional at the time of printing our brochure, but please follow the current county guidelines. Also, be considerate of our artists if they have “masks required” posted. Check back here for updates and any changes that might occur. Coming soon: a listing of participating artists along with a 2022 brochure to download. We also use our mailing list to announce CoCA events. Sign up on our Contact page if you are interested in being on that list. PASSPORTS ARE BACK! Win an original work of art. Visit at least 7 participating studios on November 12 and 13 to qualify for the drawing which will be held the week after Open Studios. Turn in your passport to the last studio visited. Winners will be contacted by the individual artists to arrange for pickup. Thank you for your continued interest in our Coastside Artists. For information about COCA and the artists: CoCAartists@gmail.com From CoCA Members: “I’ve felt the spirit of CoCA has been inclusive, supportive, sharing and gracious to all artists. ” “If CoCA were food, it would be the best macaroni and cheese you ever ate.” “CoCA is a group of talented, committed, and friendly artists who get together to share their creative experiences.” “Moving to the coast has been a wonderful experience, but joining CoCA has made it feel like I’ve come home.” “CoCA is a group of talented and passionate Coastside artists who welcome and mentor fellow artists at all stages of their artistic path.” |
